Heat and
2. PREREQUISITES
Before taking PHYSICS 3,
you must have obtained a
grade of at least 3.0 in
Math 14 (Plane
Trigonometry) or Math 17
(College Algebra and
3. COURSE OBJECTIVES
After taking PHYSICS 3 you
should be able to:
a)
State the concepts, principles
and laws of mechanics and heat;
b)
Explain the concepts, principles
and laws learned; and
c)
Solve theoretical and practical
4. COURSE MATERIALS
Upon registration, you are to buy a copy of “Laboratory
Manual in General Physics I with supplementary readings”. Pay 150p at UPLB FI using the code 2010 – IMSP. Then show receipt to your Lab Instructor (C208)
and get the manual

5. COURSE OUTLINE
PHYSICS 3 will cover the following topics in order:
1. Introduction: Physics and Measurement 2. Physical Quantities
3. Kinematics
4. Forces & Universal Gravitation 5. Work, Energy and Power
6. Linear Momentum and Collision 7. Fluid Mechanics
6. EXPECTED WORK AND
PERFORMANCE
Your grade in Physics 3 will be determined by your
performance in the lecture and laboratory classes.
The LECTURE component of the course provides
the student with knowledge of the principles and laws of physics.
The LABORATORY component enables students to
have a first-hand experimental verification of the theories presented in the lecture class.
You must PASS BOTH the lecture and laboratory
